How “Fixer Upper” Fans Helped This Couple Adopt Their First Baby

Kenzi and Austin Reddick are your normal, everyday couple from North Carolina and while they have been trying to conceive a child for a few years now, they have not seemed to have any luck. They have even tried to use fertility drugs in order to expedite the process and have yet to achieve their desired objective.

Eventually, they began to run out of money and had no way to continue paying for the treatments. While some might suggest that they adopt instead, the reality is that they could not afford to go that route either, since it costs at least $20,000 for a couple to adopt their own baby.

Kenzi started her own Etsy store and her goal was to sell customized coffee cups in order to raise the money she needed. She is a huge fan of the show “Fixer Upper” and some of these coffee cups contained quotes from the program and offered praise to Joanna Gaines, who she calls her spirit animal.

She never could have realized that Chip and Joanna Gaines were also fans of her work. The aforementioned spirit animal mug made its way onto Chip’s Instagram page and he also posted the link to Kenzi’s Etsy, so that others could also purchase the mugs for their own homes.

Once Kenzi received this endorsement, the mugs began to fly off of the shelves at a rate that no one ever could have expected. Within a few weeks of the huge sale that Chip was the catalyst for, the couple welcomed Lane Everett into their home.
